The heterocyclic diamines are those compounds containing nitrogen in the cyclic structure, such as 2,6-diamine pyridine.
The diorgano-tin compound used in preparing the compositions of this invention are the diorgano-tin dihalides represented by the formula where R is a C monovalent radical of the group consisting of alkyl and aryl, and X represents halogen, preferably chlorine and bromine. Illustrative organo-tin compounds are dimethyltin dichloride, ethylmethyltin dichloride, diphenyltin dichloride, isopropyl-Z-naphthyltin dichloride, dinaphthyltin dibromide, and dialkyltin dichlorides containing from about 1 to about 20 carbon atoms in each alkyl group.
ene radical; and X represents a halogen, preferably chlorine or bromine. Exemplary of the alkanedioic acids are succinic, adipic and sebacic. The benzene dicarboxylic acids are phthalic, isophthalic and terephthalic acids. representative of the naphthalene dicarboxylic acids are 1,8-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid, 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid and 2,7-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid.
The polymeric organo-tin compositions of this invention are prepared by reacting (A) a diamine and (B) a mixture of a diorgano-tindihalide and an acyl halide from a dicarboxylic acid of the group consisting of alkanedioic acids having from about 2 to 20 carbon atoms, benzene dicarboxylic acids and naphthalene dicarboxylic acids, which mixtures contain from 1 to 99 mole percent of diorgano-tin dihalide in the presence of an aqueous alkali metal hydroxide solution. The alkali metal hydroxide can be sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, with sodium hydroxide being preferred. Inasmuch as this is an interfacial condensation in an aqueous solution with the elimination of halogen from the reactants, the alkali metal hydroxide solution contains at least one mole of alkali metal hydroxide per gram atom of halide present in the reaction mixture. Reactants A and B above are preferably in equimolar proportions. However, an excess of either reactant is possible when additional reaction sites are desired in the reaction product obtained in accordance with this invention.
The interfacial condensation polymerization of this invention is preferably conducted by dissolving the diamine in the aqueous alkali metal hydroxide solution and thereafter adding a mixture of the diorgano-tin dihalide and acyl halide dissolved in an inert organic solvent such as chloroform to the vigorously agitated aqueous diamine alkali metal hydroxide solution at temperatures within the range of from about 0 to about 200 C., preferably 20 to 30 C., and from atmospheric pressure to superatmospheric pressures of up to about 500 pounds per square inch. At temperatures above 100 C., the reaction should be conducted at super-atmospheric pressures to prevent the loss of water from the reaction medium. The use of elevated temperatures is dependent upon the stability of the reactants. Temperatures below 20 C. reduce the rate of reaction. At room temperature or temperatures within the range of 20 to 30 C., there is maximum reactivity of the reactants with minimal side reactions. The tin-containing polyamide condensation products form immediately as solid materials upon the addition of the dior-gano-tin dihalide and acyl halide mixture to the aqueous diamine alkali metal hydroxide solutions. Consequently, it is advisable to slowly add the diorgano-tin dihalide-acyl halide mixture to the aqueous solution. This polycondensation reaction can be effected by simply admixing the reactants in a high-speed blender, such as a Waring Blendor. Preferentially the solvent solution of mixture B is within the range of 5 to by weight of the reactants and preferably 15 to 30% by weight. The aqueous alkali hydroxide solution preferably contains 5 to 20% by weight of the alkaline metal hydroxide and 5 to 40% by weight of the diamine.
Recovery of the polymeric organo-tin compositions is simply effected by filtering the solids from the reaction mixture. The solids are then washed with water and dried.
The following examples further illustrate the preparation of the tin-containing polyamides of this invention.
Example I A mixture of 11.6 g. (0.1 mole) of 1,6-hexanediamine, 8.0 g. (0.20 mole) of sodium hydroxide, and 100 ml. of water was placed at room temperature in a Waring Blendor. To this stirred solution was added a mixture of 4.2 g. (.019 mole) of dimethyltin dichloride, 16.4 g. (0.082 mole) of terephthaloyl chloride in 200 ml. of chloroform. On addition of the organic solution, a heavy fibrous-like product formed. Filtration and drying of the product gave a colorless solid that is stable up to 350 C. at which temperature it slowly decomposed and analyzed 24% tin by emission spectroscopy.
Example II A solution of 5.8 g. (0.05 mole) of 1,6hexanediamine and 4.0 g. (0.1 mole) of sodium hydroxide in 50 ml. of water was prepared. To this stirred solution was slowly added a mixture of 7.3 g. (0.04 mole) of adipoyl chloride and 2.1 g. (0.01 mole) of dimethyltin dichloride in 100 ml. of chloroform. The polymeric composition obtained after filtration and drying decomposed at 250 C., and contained 20% tin by emission spectroscopy measurements.
Example III A solution of 2.9 g. (0.02 mole) of 1,6-hexanediamine and 4.0 g. (0.7 mole) of sodium hydroxide in 100 ml. of water was placed in a Waring Blendor. To this stirred solution was added a mixture of 0.9 g. (0.002 mole) of diphenyltin dichloride, and 3.6 g. (0.02 mole) of adipoyl chloride in 100 ml. of chloroform. The solids were removed by filtration, washed several times with Water and dried. The dry material contained 9.76% tin by emission spectroscopy measurements and softened at 250 C., partially sublimed and melted with decomposition at 265-275 C.
A portion of the polymeric composition of this example was dissolved in hot dimethylformamide to about a 1% solution. A film on tin plate was cast from this solution. The film exhibited excellent adherence and resisted cracking when the tin plate was bent.
Samples of the polymeric compositions of Examples I and II were ignited in a Bunsen flame and found to be self-extinguishing when removed from the flame.
It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the polymeric organo-tin compositions of this invention are primarily linear tin-containing polyamides having the following groups 7 randomly distributed throughout the backbone of the composition,
